Installing .Net 3.5 Fails on Windows 8 With 0x800F0906 Error


I tried to install Remote Desktop Connection Manager on Windows 8.1 and it required .NET 2.0.  I tried to install it (both download and from Programs and Features) and the installer tried to download the code.  The download would fail with a 0x800F0906 error:


Pop in the installation media for Windows 8 and run DISM from an elevated (admin) command prompt.  E: was the path to my Windows 8 installation USB.

It appears that this is caused by the machine being policy configured to use WSUS or similar with the download of .NET 2.0 not being available.
